“You will go alone, is that ok?”   My boss told me. And there I was paralyzed. I have never thought about that before, but this would have meant to take the train by myself, change the train by myself, present the project by myself, eat by myself, walk by myself. Alone. Usually, to “be […]

“Are we all here?” Our guide shouts. This trip in Malta was my first travel as a group with perfect strangers and just one known friend. I remember well the aperitifs on the boat at sunset; the mornings waking up in a rush to get in the bus; the race to the highest cliff from […]
